Phillyrea angustifolia ‘French Fries’

Originally released here, this is my own selected form from a collection made in southern France with exceptionally narrow, very pretty foliage. It is, I believe, the true forma rosmarinifolia. A medium sized evergreen shrub with large amounts of small, fragrant, cream flowers in clusters along the branches in May and June. Very drought tolerant, for sun or semi-shade. Very suitable for clipping and shaping and an excellent alternative to box.
